And having the corners on your device rounded isn't a common sense idea? Yet Apple was able to patent that and claim anyone who added it was copying them.
I came from a Java background, and surrounding code blocks with brackets always seemed needlessly messy to me. Especially when you have a single statement block without brackets that you need to add another statement to. Now you have to surround with brackets just to add a line to the block. Once i found out about Python I found myself using it as much as I could, because not having to worry about brackets to add a line ever was a great feeling of liberation for me.
I don't really get what is wrong with having to do type checks manually. If you name a variables like total_widget_count and widget_count and then do something like total_widget_count += widget_count, who cares if it is int, long, double, or float when you just want to add two numbers together? On the other hand if you want to pass a parameter that can be an int or a list of ints then it performs a functional purpose to check the types, so why wouldn't you want to do it manually at that point?
I feel this is the strength of Python. The fact that thousands of people are out there exactly like you, saying things like "Yes Java is better for so many things, but I use Python for X and it really works for me well there". Being a jack of all trades but master of none can make you very popular, and that's why it is one of the top languages now.
I'm aware of some small websites in perl but no large scale ones. Perl is a brutally messy language to do anything in, but it fills a really useful spot if you're a sysadmin and you need something more than bash or ksh.
Surrounding code blocks with brackets is very ugly. The one respite you get from them is if you can prune your block down to one statement then you don't have to put the brackets, but then inevitably you need to add one more statement temporarily so you need to surround in brackets just to add the statement and remove them again when you go back to one statement again. When you work in python for awhile you come to see how awkward brackets are.
I can't believe the hate for Python. Many of you people talk like a large website could never be built it in when the fact is that many large websites have been and continue to be built with it.
I'd say, "you can't do that to a medical institution!", but then I remember that they are there for profit like everyone else and I'm totally fine with it.
As opposed to you, whose butt doesn't hurt and wants it again, and again, and again because Donnie uses the good lube paid for by the Amarican public on you. Yeah I'll pick butt-hurt.
Merick and Co can set the price to whatever they want to when they sell it to a single buyer country. If they don't set it high enough to continue development then that's not exactly the buyer's problem. Besides, there are plenty of people who do this to save lives, not get rich.
What am I supposed to use to communicate with my developers? Snapchat? Skype is the most widely used basic chat/voice client out there, I'm very sorry that we can't barf rainbows at each other, but it doesn't really get in the way of our work, much.
So? Most people that age aren't doing anything relevant for the company anyway. The ones that are can be replaced by a multitude of inexpensive options compared to hiring a local person.
The problem is that there are only a few hot spots left in the country where this would be the case for most people. Maybe you were in a position where you could move away from your family, or you happened to be in a hot spot. That's great, but count your blessings instead of calling down everyone.
I'm not thinking of edge cases, I'm thinking of situations that may realistically happen that might make my life difficult. You may be willing to kick yourself when they happen and change your life by them, but i'd rather just buy a vehicle that works for me in all cases. I'm spending too much on it not to.
If AI is so easily trainable on any kind of edge case, why do they have such simple problems such as missing red lights or going down one way streets the wrong way? It would seem reasonable that they have that down before we should believe every edge case is covered.
He tried to make sure everyone had decent healthcare, and did pretty good considering the Republicans fought him every step of the way. Anything closer to Canada's healthcare system is a step forward.

Well it's not something I have gone out to research.

You are missing something. There are packages like py2exe that will compile python in a regular executable.
Except by reading these comments, Python could never be the right tool for the job, so how the heck are people managing to get so much done with it?

Yes I'm sure everyone working there is very poor.

My country is single payer, so we will help you pay for it at a price that is acceptable to both parties.

THey have been saying that is coming for 10 years now. Are you sure companies aren't just using technology to downsize and not fill those positions?
Oh you're assuming I was talking about the US?
I'm glad my workplace treats me like a professional and lets me come and go as I please as long as I get work done that I need to.

Microsoft says it is time for you to upgrade. Oh, and they recommend Windows 10.

No known ransomware works on a TURD, either.
